it’s almost christmas, but it’s just not the same as it used to be. in honor of the holidays i felt like reminiscing. so i put together a list of my favorite childhood toys. is it weird that i remember chewing on 90% of the toys on this list? oral fixation much? any whoooo, hope this list makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
ALPHIE
My best friend Jennifer had one of these at her old house. I very clearly remember playing with it before I got yelled at and put in time out for unplugging the Christmas lights.
GOOEY LOUIE
My mom wouldn’t let my brother and i have this because she said it was “disgusting”. WHAT-EVER MOM, TALK TO THE HAND!!! my cousins had it though, so we played with it at their house.
DEAR DIARY
One of the many signs I had ADHD as a child was that I would constantly forget the password and never be bale to open my secret diary. I probably reset the stupid things more than I unlocked it with the pass code…so frustrating for a absent minded little girl.
FISHER PRICE KITCHENS:
It is important to note, I had a little tikes play kitchen (the one with the coffee pot), THIS one was Jennifer’s- this kitchen was also used as Cubbies- the most well thought out, successful, and long lived pretend restaurant ever run by 7-10 year olds. I believe a specialty was spaghetti and strawberry ice cream….
LISA FRANK ERASERS
Again, I really just remember always chewing on these, BUT they were pretty cool. Everyone had to have them and they were considered a TOP NOTCH party favor. If you were lucky, sometimes they would be scented. Also, they were never to be used for erasing.
FISHER PRICE ROLLER SKATES
These were dangerous. The wheels were too little, so every tiny rock was a death trap. I once pushed nicky when he had these one and he fell really hard. im sorry nicky….
BABY ALL GONE
THE CHERRIES SMELLED LIKE CHERRIES! This was an awesome doll. I wonder how the cherries disappeared…just kidding the really loud “click” gave it away… To add on to the things I ingested that I shouldn’t have, I bit a whole through the bottle and drank some of the “disappearing pink milk”. It tasted like poison…because it probably was.
PRETTY PRETTY PRINCESS
The official game of choice for any 4-9 girl’s birthday party.
CAT’S CRADLE
We spent hours upon upon hours playing with a piece of string….a $14.99 piece of string.
PUPPY SURPRISE
You opened up the dog’s stomach and out popped a surprise number of puppies. I had three, one of my friends got 5!! I was soooo jealous….
SCENTED STAMP MARKERS
puppy footprints that smelled like chocolate??? I THINK YES!
DOCTOR’S KIT
Please tell me I wasn’t the only one who would put the cast on and try to “trick” people into thinking I really broke my arm?
FASHION PLATES
I seriously thought this was what fashion designers did….until I went to fashion school.
HIT CLIPS
Because everyone wants to hear the same 30 seconds of their favorite song…over…and over…and over….
SKY DANCER
These things were awesome until you did it in the house and it hit the ceiling and the arm broke off and then the fun was over.
COOL MC DONALDS TOYS!
Remember you could dress them in different outfits?
SKIP IT
You would spend days getting the counter up to like a BAJILLION and then your little brother would want to try and erase the counter……and you’d have to start all over again!!!
CHARACTER UNDIES:
Don’t act like you didn’t/don’t still wear them.
TIGER HANDHELD GAMES
The sound effects on these and the picture quality was unreal…
MY SIZE BARBIE
The best way to scare the crap out of a little girl when she wakes up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night at a slumber party…nooo of course that didn’t happen to me….(may or may not have peed my pants).
REPTAR
REPTARRRRRR!!!!!!!
GAK
Gak was banned along with silly putty in my house after i got a whole jar of it stuck on a couch cushion and thought i’d be sneaky and just flip the cushion over. needless to say, i got caught.
STRETCH ARMSTRONG
definitely chewed on this, too.
TAMAGOTCHI
Remember racing home from school to make sure your mom had cleaned up his poop while you were gone?? because if she forgot it would die and he was like 3 days old!!!!
MY FIRST CELLPHONE….
It had snake. Which is still hands down, the BEST phone game EVER.
What toys were your favorite??
